“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.” -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

One of my courses this semester was a creative nonfiction class. Because it was our final class today, we had a read around and our teacher read a piece that she had written. The words were so beautiful. They were almost tangible. Today I am grateful for the arts, for creativity, and for people who work hard to develop and perfect their talents in order to bless the lives of those around them.

“The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.”-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
